separating the track from the crowd is 22 feet high, but some questions are whether it's high enough and are the grand stands too close. it's always been part of nascar's culture. >> fans want to be close to the action at daytona, and if you were to walk by the fence here, you'll feel it. your hair will literally be sucked sideways because you're so close to the action. that's what fans want. >> reporter: it was 12 years ago that seven-time champ dale earnhardt died in an accident on the last lap of the daytona 500. his death prompted a safety overhaul for both drivers and fans. >> they do the best they can for the drivers and fans, of course, but when i come to these races, i do feel very safe as a fan. >> reporter: the other headline of the day, the historic poll position start for danika patrick who also led a lap in a nascar race. >> it's like only the only girl in a guy's sport spshgs she's holding her own, so it kind of

the president of afghanistan ordered all u.s. special operation forces to leave an embattled area of that country within two weeks because of torture and other allegations against afghans working with the americans. the area is the province not far from kabul. for more we turn to pentagon correspondent jim miklaciewski. >> this order today shocked u.s. defense and military officials. they were taken totally by surprise. military officials also have strongly denied u.s. commandos condone or in any way took part in kidnapping, torture, or murders of afghan civilians or suspects. president karzai has occasionally in the past taken the u.s. military to task and, in part, to show the afghan people that he is in charge, but this province is a taliban stronghold, one of the hottest combat areas in afghanistan, so if karzai is playing politics here, it's an extremely

dangerous game. now, president obama has already announced that 34,000 american troops, half the total american -- from afghanistan by the end of this year, but if u.s. forces are prevent from executing their mission, you may start to hear calls from washington to bring home all american forces sooner than planned. lester. >> thank you. up next here tonight, the pope and his last sunday appearance. but we can still help you see your big picture. with the fidelity guided portfolio summary, you choose which accounts to track and use fidelity's analytics to spot trends, gain insights, and figure out what you want to do next. all in one place. i'm meredith stoddard and i helped create the fidelity guided portfolio summary. it's one more innovative reason serious investors are choosing fidelity. now get 200 free trades when you open an account.
